"Oh my god, what is that, a dragon? I saw a dragon?"
"That's Qi! Only martial artists with very high cultivation can use it. If a professional martial artist wants to advance to the sixth level, this kind of Qi that can be seen with the naked eye is one of the requirements!"
"How old is he? A professional sixth-degree martial artist appeared in the U19 competition. I don't think there is such a record in the outer ring!"
"The actual transformation of Qi is only one of the conditions for reaching the sixth stage. It doesn't mean that one can reach the sixth stage just by using it. But I estimate that even if his strength is not the sixth stage, he is not far from it!"
"What is a genius? This is a genius! The hero of the novel is right in front of me..."
"After watching the last match, I thought he specialized in swordsmanship. How come even his punches and kicks are so outrageous? What kind of style is Hidden Dragon Style?"
“Husband!!”
There was a heated discussion in the audience, and almost everyone was excited about this game.
In the contestant viewing area, Yin Muhu lowered his head and glanced at the short Du Mingluan:
"What do you mean?"
Du Mingluan had a blank expression on his face: "It's just soft power. I can do it too."
Yin Muhu glanced at the broken arena, and touched his chin with his muscular arm: "Haha."
Du Mingluan: "What are you laughing at?"
Yin Muhu: "Nothing, just thinking of something happy."
Du Mingluan: “…”
On the broken arena, Xue Jing pulled the Futu Knife out of the ground and looked up at the sky.
The sky was clear with only a few white clouds. There was a small black dot on the horizon, which kept getting bigger, like ink smudged on a painting.
That is - an airplane.
A beautiful aircraft painted pure black with a streamlined body that exudes a high-tech feel.
Under Xue Jing's astonished gaze, the black plane approached at a very fast speed and flew straight towards the gymnasium.
"That was... sent by White Crow to pick me up?"
Xue Jing was a little confused.
They weren't going to come pick him up directly from the gym, were they
How to land? The stadium's ceiling is a hollow structure, not completely empty, and there is no space for landing. If the plane wants to fly in, the final result will only be a crash into the audience seats.
Although he was confused, Xue Jing was not worried. Since Bai Ya dared to do this, it was obvious that they had something to rely on.
He didn't have to wait too long, just a dozen seconds.
"call out-"
The sharp whistling sound of the air being forcibly torn apart began to spread into the venue, and the sound became louder and louder.
The people in the gym also noticed it and were wondering what was going on.
"call out-"
At this time, the black plane was already within two hundred meters of the stadium, but still showed no sign of slowing down.
Under Xue Jing's surprised gaze, the plane approaching at high speed suddenly stopped right above the roof of the gymnasium, suddenly changing from extremely moving to extremely still.
Just like that... it just stopped in the air!
The large object that was moving at high speed suddenly stopped. Its powerful inertia was stopped out of thin air, and immediately a circle of violent airflow burst out from its entire body.
"call-"
The audience in the venue were unable to open their eyes due to the wind, and the sky was filled with flying snacks, hats, and all kinds of messy things.
"What? A plane? Where did the plane come from?"
Under everyone's surprised gaze, the plane slowly descended from the air.
The aircraft, which did not appear to have any suspension device, simply ignored gravity and fell down like an alien UFO and landed on the ground.
The built-in door on the fuselage was pushed open, and Xu Jian, wearing a black tight tactical suit, with a nimble figure like a female leopard, walked out.
She smoothed her short hair that was a little messy due to the wind, looked at Xue Jing who was standing not far away, and greeted him:
"Long time no see, Xue Jing, am I not late?"
Xue Jing glanced at the time on his phone.
Just at this moment, [17:00] jumped to [17:01].
"No, you're just in time, Captain Void Blade."
Xue Jing smiled and spoke.
Xu Ren looked around, then looked at the broken arena and the human-shaped hole embedded in the ground.
"Looks like you've finished everything here too... Let's talk about it on the plane. Is there anything else you want to bring?"
Xue Jing held up the Futu Knife and shook his head: "No more, let's go."
Under the confused gazes of the others in the venue, Xue Jing just followed Xu Ren into the cabin.
As the black plane floated up into the air and lifted off the stadium like a flying saucer, Kou Chengjian, who was standing in the contestant viewing area, scratched his head:
"Just run away after pretending to be awesome?"
…
In the cabin, Xue Jing looked at the scenery outside the window and felt a little curious.
In fact, for some reason, airplanes are very rare in this world. There are not even any civilian airplanes. Most people travel long distances by land or water, not by air.
Excluding his previous life, this was Xue Jing's first time seeing an airplane... not counting helicopters.
The mandrill, who was wearing a vest and military pants and had a crew cut, sat next to Xue Jing and winked at him:
"Okay, Xue Jing."
"I watched that match. You really are a monster. It's only been a short time, and you've become even stronger."
"There are so many girls who are fans of you online now. If you open an account on any social media platform... I can't even imagine how many naughty photos you will receive in private messages."
Xue Jing smiled and said casually: "In case you don't know, I have a lot of male fans too. According to what you said, I don't want to receive a bunch of dick pictures."
The mandrill was stunned for a moment: "Eh... That's true."
Xu Ren turned his back to Xue Jing, squatted slightly, opened the built-in refrigerator in the cabin, took out a can of drink from it, turned around and threw it to Xue Jing.
Xue Jing reached out and grabbed the drink in his hand, and took a look at the packaging, which said 'Xinsha Soda'.
He had never seen such a drink.
Void Blade said, "This is produced by a beverage company in Edge City No. 069. It is very popular among local border hunters. You can try it."
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows.
Since the Eternal Night War, the administrative divisions of the Xia Dynasty have become nine metropolitan areas, and each metropolitan area is divided into three levels.
From the inside to the outside, they are the inner ring, the outer ring, and the edge.
The edge city is located at the outermost part of the urban circle. Although it is called a city, it is actually something like a fortress defense line, which keeps dangerous creatures from the border area outside the defense line.
This is also the reason why, although there are so many abnormal things in this world, the inner and outer rings appear to be very peaceful.
Because of the danger... they were basically blocked outside the edge city defense line.
All edge cities have no specific names, only numbers - because they may be destroyed at any time, there is no need to name a place that may be destroyed at any time.
There are actually people who open a beverage company in a place like this
Xue Jing twisted the pull ring on the aluminum can, which made a "hiss" sound, and then took a sip of the soda.
The moment it entered his mouth, the spicy taste exploded in his mouth, and along with the unique stimulation of carbonated soda, it spread from his throat to his whole body.
“Very novel taste.”
Xue Jing commented.
This thing is absolutely difficult for ordinary people to adapt to.
It's too spicy.
But the level of stimulation was just right for him.
Xu Ren smiled and said, "069 Edge City is a legendary edge city in the fifth urban circle. It has existed for more than a hundred years."
"Whenever a marginal city is destroyed, the number of the newly built marginal city will be moved up. Now, the newest marginal city in the fifth urban circle is numbered over 400."
"Of the marginal cities below 200, only No. 069 is still standing."
Xue Jing nodded and said in sudden realization: "So that's how it is."
No wonder there is a beverage company... If it has existed for more than a hundred years, the facilities in this edge city should not be much different from those of a normal city.
"By the way, Captain Void Blade," Xue Jing looked at the ordinary-looking Void Blade and said:
"What's going on with this plane? It looks more like an alien flying saucer than a plane."
Before Void Blade could reply, the mandrill beside him crossed his arms and said proudly:
"You haven't seen it before, this is the 'Dragon Core Machine'."
Xue Jing: “Oh?”
"The power source of this plane is the core organ of a dragon."
Mandrill Road.
"As you just saw, this plane can take off and land extremely freely. It doesn't need to glide to generate lift, nor does it need any external objects to stop inertia out of thin air."
"This is because the way it flies relies on the 'anti-gravity biological force field' generated by the dragon core."
"How's it going? Awesome, right?"
Xu Ren slapped him on the head: "You didn't build it, why are you so proud?"
Mandrill: “…”
"The Dragon Core has many advantages, but the biggest one is that it is the only aircraft that can guarantee safe flight at high altitudes."
Void Blade said.
She looked out the window, her eyes lit up, and said, "Oh? You're just in time, look."
Xue Jing looked in the direction of her finger.
Outside the round porthole, between the clouds, there is a... dragon
Xue Jing's eyes widened slightly.
It was a creature with two fleshy wings on its back and covered with scales, just like the legendary flying dragon.
It is about five or six meters long. The scales on its body are mostly red, while the scales on its abdomen are beige. Its neck is covered with brown mane. It has only two hind feet and no front claws.
"Dragon seed?" Xue Jing narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xu Ren nodded: "Yes, it is a dragon seed."
"Since the death of God and the emergence of the borderland, countless alien creatures have entered the human world. After more than two hundred years of adaptation, land-dwelling species, sea-dwelling species, and air-dwelling species have gradually formed their own ecosystems."
The dragon outside the window was moving in a different direction from the plane and was gradually moving away.
Void Blade continued: "-However, just over thirty years ago, most of the Aerial species became extinct."
Because it was rare knowledge that he didn't know, Xue Jing listened very carefully. He asked curiously, "Why?"
"Because of the dragon seed." said Xu Ren.
"The sudden appearance of a large number of dragon species has wiped out most of the air-dwelling species in just a few years."
"The dragon species is known as the king of the sky-dwelling species. Although it is very strong, its number is rare and it would not affect the sky-dwelling species' ecosystem."
"However, more than thirty years ago, a dragon of the 'super creature' level descended into the world."
Xue Jing raised his hand: "Wait, what is a 'super creature'?"
Xu Ren was already used to Xue Jing's 'lack of common sense', so she started to explain:
"To put it simply, it is a creature with a danger rating of 10 or above."
"Level 10?" Xue Jing blinked.
